About me

Hello! My name is Michael Borgwardt, I was born 1977 and have been living and working in and around Munich, Germany
for a long time, although strictly speaking I'm a "Zuag'roaster", i.e. not a true native.

Munich is rather expensive to live in, but I feel very comfortable here, since it offers all
the advantages of a big city without being an endless concrete waste.

You can find out more about my work and my hobbies in the other sections of this website -
hopefully it's not too boring :-)

Why 'brazzy'?

My online nickname is based on the 1984 movie Brazil,
a dark surrealist story by Monty Python member Terry Gilliam, which is one of my favourite movies.
Its title in turn is based on a 1930s song.

Originally I therefore called myself "Brazil", ever since that nickname was positively remarked upon
during my very first contact with the Internet (which took place via a Gateway between IRC and
the German Telecom's proprietary BTX service), which must have been around 1993.

However, it frequently led to misunderstandings as people assumed I was Brazilian, and of course "Brazil"
was often already taken as a nickname. Therefore I eventually swichted to far more distinct "brazzy".

Hey there,

You surprised me with the level of your command on Java and other stuffs in your website.
Keep it up as the world needs such a talent everyday!

Greetings to you, I know you will be very surprised to read from someone relatively unknown to you before, and I want you to know that the contents of this message is strictly confidential and for mutual benefit between you and I and nothing more.My name is Barrister Eric ZANOU, a Solicitor. And the Personal Attorney to Late Ing. Thomas Borgwardt, a national of your country, and a former Director (SOBEGI BENIN) an Oil & Petroleum distribution company based in Benin Republic West Africa.

On 27th May 2011,22:53 GMT my client and his Family were involved in a car accident unfortunately lost their lives. My Client has an account here in Benin Republic West Africa with a commercial Bank here in Benin Republic West African worth Fourteen Million Five Hundred United States Dollars (14.5 MILLION USD). Since he lost his life and that of his family, there is no one to claim the bill and the Bank has issued me 21 days notice to provide his next of kin or have the account confiscated. I contacted you simply because you have the same last name and you are from the same country with him. You do not need to be afraid of anything because everything will be legally followed without any form of law breaching either in your country or mine.

However, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to my late client so that the fund will be transferred to your account and we will share it 50% to me and 50% to you. I have all the information and documents relating to this fund and I will present any of them upon demand by the Bank and everything will be executed under legitimate arrangement without any form of law breaching either in your country or mine. I must also assure you that all arrangement for a successful transaction have been setting in place, so everything will be perfectly worked out without hitch. All I required from you now is your mutual understanding and honest co-operation to enable us seeing this business through. I will need the following information to proceed with the transfer.

I am waiting for your urgent response as soon as possible so that I will send more details to you and also explain everything thing concerning this legal transaction and please reply me to my private email address (eric.zanou@gmail.com).

Best Regards,

Barrister Eric ZANOU Esq.

Brazzy,

Do you happen to remember the small rental car company
that you posted where you were able to rent a car
in Chile and return to Argentina? I am having
difficulty finding a way to do that. Thanks
in advance

I have a question you might be able to answer! =D: https://www.quora.com/Stackoverflow-1/What-does-it-feel-like-to-be-at-the-top-0-1-of-Stackoverflow

Hello Brazzy,

Best regards

Hello from Northern Québec!
I remember Brazil from my time in University (circa 1990's). It WAS dark!
Happy to meet somebody who seems upbeat on the web!
(You solved the Japanese Metro sign on the Cheeseburger site for me, thanks.)
